Mefloquine adverse reaction?

Took one Mefloquine pill 250mg for prevention, never went to malaria area became too ill of mefloquine started 48 hours after the pill. Still suffering severe reaction after 6 months, no improvement. Vertigo, anxiety, dizziness, hearing loss in a way, visual problems, depression, suicidal thoughts, heart palpitations, mussle weakness and pain, lost feeling on skin, numb feet hands. can sleep just 6 hours by myself now after 5 months of insomnia. Severe cognitive problems, always on a trip. Use Ativan to try to cope through a day. Now I want explanation on this and how long does the average severe effected person takes? Had no history before and was a healthy 45 year old lady.

The doctors in RSA has no answers or experience, this is not uncommon 1 pill can do much damage in the brain brainstem and vestibular system, theres a RSA lady who took 5 years and her hubby took 4 years and many others still sit with damage after many years some only took 2 pills!. Theres a support group on lariam, also a website lariaminfo.org I never had any depression or anxiety in my life. I want previous sufferers to comment on their experiences please and what left overs they sit with?
